It's really helpful for us to know that you'd like to see more writing samples, so we can make it more useful for other students like you.

Wiki Assignments

Wiki # 4 In the study of interracial adoption, there are recent studies that have been applied to the process of adopting a child, and whether race places an issue on the child's development.
